Take us to our story

When I open my eyes I'm in a field of flowers, there's a tree a few feet away with a large hole that seems to go beneath the tree roots. the sky behind it is turning beautiful colors. There's a deer drinking from a small pond a few yards away. In front of us is a small cabin, the door sways on the hinges, and it looks like nobody has been here for a while.
"This place is beautiful." Sam says in awe, this is the happiest I've seen them in days.
"Yeah, it is. Welcome to our story. Welcome home." I say, I blush as Sam pulls me into a hug.
"Anywhere with you is home." They respond as I hug them back.
"But this place is nice." They add.
"I love you, I promise I'll keep you safe from now on." I finally tell them, and they hug tighter.
"I love you too." They reply. We go inside the cabin and look around, eventually settling in on a dusty bed we found. We lay there and talk just enjoying each other's company for a while. Eventually, Sam pulls their phone out of their pocket.
"You still have your phone on you?" I ask, I thought they left it behind.
"Yeah." They reply, opening the group chat. Luke has been removed and there are plenty of messages asking where we are and a few about me being crazy too.
SamMiles: we're fine guys, now could you stop calling my girlfriend crazy?
Ashley404: Holy shit! Where the hell have you been?
BoyToyTroy: OMFG you alive
BoyToyTroy: I thot you guys were dead
Ashley404: Where are you?
SamMiles: we're safe, that's all that matters and we'll come back to visit you guys sometime, we can chill at the mall or the beach or something
Ashley404: Visit? So you're not going home?
BoyToyTroy: no way
BoyToyTroy: wat about yo dad and Dil's fam
SamMiles: Dylan here, fuck all of them, we'll see you guys again soon, hope Luke's face is a pile of mush.

BoyToyTroy: curb stomp da fuck
Ashley404: I'll take a video for you
SamMiles: Dylan again, DO IT!
SamMiles: thanks guys
Sam kept messaging them for a while but I stopped paying attention after that. I'm tired and we can always go back to visit them in person sometime. I think I'll take a water bottle with me from now on though. After all, home is just a puddle away.
